The vad States have agreed
to make payments in British Col-

$501 million in Canadian funds in

In return for these payments,
British Columbia will construct
three large storage dams at Dun-

The specific payments will he:

It was noted the Session hopes

Easter services. The plans for a
larger number of Elders will make
distribution of the cards simpler,
it is felt.

those of last year.

The meeting also recommend-

and L, E, Cantell, terasurer of the
Board of Stewards.

Mr, Qantell remarked that
while the financial picture of the
church was not-as good as last
year, he was pleased to be able
to report the loan on the building
is now paid off completely.

Discussion followed on matters
concerning attendance figures, en-
yelope contribution and church
budgeting systems.

Mr, Cantell felt it might be
wise to adopt the United Church
budgeting system used in many
centers which calls for sending out
quarterly statements to contribu-
tors showing amount of pledges
paid up and balance to come, In
this way the_pledges are more
apt to be remembered and kept
up.

Mr. Willey pointed out it is
now almost three years since the
program was used and it is quite
a general thing for church receipts
to begin to drop in the third year
after such a membership plan,

In this connection, he advised,
there is a new plan in the offing
called the “Partnership in the Gos-
pel” program, This new plan seeks
to stress the spiritual needs of

q | the church as well as the monetary.

The program is being develop-
ed by the Canadian Council of
Churches and may be the “answer
to what we are looking for.” This
matter will be given further consi-
deration and study.
